Indian wrestlers Vinesh Phogat, Sakshi Malik and Bajrang Punia on Sunday posted tweets where they said their battle against former WFI president Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh will be fought in the court and not on roads.
“After completing the investigation by the Delhi Police, the charge sheet was presented in the court on June 15. The legal battle of the wrestlers will continue in the court instead of on the road until justice is served.

Vinesh and Sakshi then tweeted that they are taking a break from social media for some time.
